Resumen
Descripción
In East Asia and the Pacific, climate change brings an additional threat to existing development challenges for agriculture. This threat is exacerbated by the vulnerability associated with characteristics common to the bulk of the region including scarce land and water resources, exposure to climate variability associated with ENSO (El Niño Southern Oscillation), and frequent extreme weather/climate events – such as typhoons, floods, and drought. The workshop helped to strengthen tie s between the World Bank and FAO divisions in strategic programmes and projects in East Asia and the Pacific and established the foundation for a planned follow-up meeting targeting a broader audience, likely to include interested government representatives, which will be held in early 2012 within the East Asia and the Pacific region.
